St Agnes Swimrun
The St Agnes Swimrun is part of Scilly Swimrun 2026 and takes place on Saturday 11 July on St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly. The event offers two course options and involves both trail running and sea swims between St Agnes and the tidal island of Gugh.
The 7 km course can be completed as one or two loops. The route starts on St Agnes with a 1 km run, followed by a 600 m swim, then a 1.6m run before a 700 m swim to Gugh. Competitors run around Gugh, swim back to St Agnes and finish with a final run to the community centre. A longer 14 km option is also offered on the same course layout.
Distances:
- 7 km one or two loops
- 14 km
Entry fees differ by category and date. Early solo and pair prices apply until 1 May; fees increase after that date. A boat transfer from St Mary’s is included in the entry price. Organisers state a medical team operates on land and sea and a water safety team in powerboats monitors swims. Typical sea temperatures in July are reported as 14–16 °C. Mandatory kit includes a wetsuit (not a trisuit), a whistle and a foldable cup or soft flask; a towfloat is required for solo competitors in specified swimrun sections.
